Two podcast appearances, Survivor of FGM fights for human rights for everyone, AHA Foundation campus program fellows promote free thinking on U.S. campuses, and more.

Dear AHA Foundation Supporter,

This month we are celebrating a victory in New Jersey! We provided written testimony for committee hearings in both the New Jersey General Assembly and their Senate to support legislation that sets the minimum age for marriage at 18 with no exceptions. Last week, Governor Phil Murphy signed this bill into law. We applaud his leadership in protecting minors from the dangers of child marriage in New Jersey.

Part of my mission to break the silence and protect liberty for all includes working with students through our campus program, Critical Thinking Unit(CTU). Our dedicated fellows work tirelessly to bring intellectuals, activists, and Muslim reformers to speak at their campuses. Madeleine Hubbard, our fellow at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, wrote about her experience as a CTU fellow, sharing why she got involved and how she hopes to impact her campus. Read here about Madeleine’s year as a CTU campus fellow.

Sign and share this petition to help end child marriage in the United States. Call on Congress to take swift action in closing the immigration visa loophole that incentives child marriage in exchange for citizenship rights. chng.it/rxyvgwcB66

"The USCIS changes will not stop child marriage — age limits must be set by Congress and states — but officials hope it will help detect instances in which a spouse is in the marriage against her will." theahafoundation.org/new-guid…
